[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

I do that same thing 🤣 hope you find it what happens to me as soon as I give up and buy another I find it

[@marilyntipton3153]

I've been trying to figure this out since 2022 lol! I came back to try it Friday and your video showed up in my feeds.. BAM got it!!!! I was doing it ALL WRONG.. #1 I wasn't weeding it off the clear sheet #2 don't think I was peeling if off after pressing onto shirt.. The only thing I have to work with is lining it up ((BIG TIME)) Thanks very detailed

Can you do the same thing but with dtf transfer on darks so you don’t lose the color?

[@debbianderson113]

I tried this in Matt and shiny (clear) but the new HTVRont for dark fabrics is much better, no need for white HTV. For dark fabrics available in Mat and shiny also.

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

That's what I'm hearing I definitely need to get some of this

Do I have to have a sublimation printer? Sorry if it’s a dumb question, I’m new to this

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

I do have a sublimation printer 😀 no question is dumb in my book

[@christinavuong1662]

Can you let us know how it holds up in the wash. I tried this last year but with each wash the sublimation started to fade and bleed into the clear htv

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

yes I will keep you updated so far its only been a few washes and it still looks great I will update more soon

[@QueRolloAdventuress]

ok so i did the white htv and the clear ht and sublimation deal... but the sublimation paper didn't come off all the way some parts sorta fused with the clear htv and idk what to do now haaaalp

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

Oh no 🙈 I wonder if your press was to hot? 🥵 what press did you use and time temp

[@ddeweypink]

Is your T-shirt 100% cotton, that’s what the instructions say but I can find are blends

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

Yes mine is a blend but it works with 100% as well

[@ArtistTaraReed]

Thanks! I’ve been hesitant about sublimation because I love cotton but now… 🥰

Yay! did you see brother has a fabric printer now?

[@ArtistTaraReed]

@@YouCanTotallyMakeThat no... interesting!!

[@marilynperez-martinez6769]

HTVRont came out with a sublimation for darks to avoid the 2nd layer of HTV.

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

Oh Snap 🫰 now I have to order some asap Thank you for this

[@avi8trgal27]

Do you know what it's called? To print right on it and then just turn it over and use your heat press to put it on the shirt? If so I'd love to know the name of that

Thats what I dont get from watching DIYs n actual Cricut Design Space. Yours is showing that for 11 x 17 max size is 9.94 x 12.76 in,; I am doing the same you doing, chg paper to 11x 17 and my max size is 10.22 x 9.93, why could that be? 😫

Same Design? That is very strange wow 😮

Can i use a epson pigmented ink laser printer instead of sublimation printer?

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

You definitely need sublimation for this one but they do make printable vinyl for inkjet

[@Chellybelly813thatsme]

So the clear htv isn’t mirrored just the image?

[@Dianechardy]

Does that come out feeling really hard and thick with two layers of the??

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

I was informed we don't have to do this HTVRont has one that is made for dark fabric so its one layer amzn.to/442vGZF

[@mgb426]

Hi! Love your video :D I do have a question, if I take clear HTV and put it on a black cotton tshirt and then sublimate something yellow or orange, would it show? or would I have to do the white HTV, then the clear and then the yellow sublimation? Or if that is to much, should I try the DTF hack? if I print a DTF with my yellow design, will it show on a black cotton tshirt. Sometimes there are so many options, that I don't know which is better. TIA 🙏

[@pifer1984]

I just got a sublimation printer so I'm learning all the things and you are defn the most straight forward and helpful. So this clear HTV basically acts as a primer for the sublimation print? This will help with vibrancy and washing on cotton t-shirts...?

[@Kurbansgirl]

I finally got the nerve to try this and I love it! The only thing that I should have done differently is a larger offset for the design I chose. I just purchased the HTV sublimation for dark fabrics and can't wait to try it.

[@MrEarnxtracash]

My bigger heat press, LOL What a joke... Rather than show people how to do this professionally, you show them how to keep playing games and wasting their time.

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

This channel is for crafters and business owners. I do not work for you my friend I hope you have the day you deserve. Choose to be KIND!

[@MrEarnxtracash]

@@YouCanTotallyMakeThat LOL, yet you responded! Now I will be 100% honest, it is channels like this who are giving the trade as a whole a bad name by showing business owners how to hack a product. No one said you worked for me nor would I ever, ever suggest that because CLEARLY our standards of quality for a professional product are not even on the same planet. When you make videos that are open to the public via this forum, you open your self up to real criticism from real business owners who could careless about your feelings. If you are showing business owners how to make shirts like this for their clients, and ultimately for a living, you’re doing them an injustice and these videos are nothing more than affiliate links and KZbin views. I was extremely kind by being honest and didn’t watch your video for any guidance. I just watched you show everyone how little value there is in the custom t-shirt market. In addition, rather than encourage your viewers to buy these products that are a hack, encourage them to work hard to get the right tool for the job. In the meant time, you want to make cotton garments for cheap with the highest quality possible, buy yourself some heat transfers (DTF, Screen printing, hybrid screen printing, etc.), both you and your customer will be happy you did. Don’t follow influencers like this and buy products that are nothing more than a waste of money and ultimately your time. With all that said, I will have the day I deserve, trying to bring value back into the custom t-shirt market. In concluding, there’s no need to respond, your original response is exactly what I expected which truly drives my original point home. I know, accountability sucks!

[@marcycurtis1008]

The black ink bleeds out onto the edges when I press the image. I tried multiple printers and had the same result. I sublimated the same design onto 100% polyester and it came out perfect. Do you have any idea why this would be happening? Thank you

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

I'm not sure what could be causing this

[@marcycurtis1008]

Thank you so much for trying to help me!! 😊I did many experiments for two days to discover that the problem was my heat press running hot. I was pressing image at 385 degrees for 40 seconds but discovered that it stopped "bleeding" at 340 degrees for 60 seconds. I hope this can help somebody who might have the same issue. I am in love with this product and technique now. Thank you again for your response, I really appreciate it. @@YouCanTotallyMakeThat
